Press Asßn.—Copyright.—Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn, and Renter. London, February 25.
Mr Massey states that the capture of Jericho was a most brilliant feat., The Australian and New Zealand mounteds moved eastwards over the hills, threatening the enemy's rear. It was a most difficult country, and they were held up lor si considerable time in a defile, where only two could pass abreast. The enemy brought several guns to bear on this point, but when darkness fell the Anzacs were in such commanding positions that the Turks fled east. The Anzac cavalry entered Jericho in the morning.
